Where is the snow???

For the record it is winter here in Indiana. What do you do when you have a 60 degree day February 1st? You set out to ride your new bike of course!

Oldies but goodies!

The following pictures were taken last year with my old camera. The only thing this camera was good for was taking pictures of the moon! While it had a 35x optical zoom anytime you used the zoom it would completely distort the picture.  One day I had the bright idea to try the moon and the obsession began. I would sit out back for hours upon hours photographing the moon. I miss my moments with the moon and I do miss the old camera but only for moon reasons! 

A gorgeous morning 1-10-12

Nothing starts off the day better than a beautiful morning in Indiana!

The moon beginning to set

The bad moon a setting

I witnessed a spectacular moon set this morning on my way to work. Thankfully the moon waited until I arrived at work for the best view of all!  One of the pictures was chosen as Hoosier Pic of the day and aired on Channel 13 WTHR today! Nothing satisfies me more than seeing my pictures broadcast to thousands of Hoosiers!  Now if only I can get one in print my mission would be complete!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

I love fall and winter. The changing leaves, the cooler weather and of course the snow makes for the most beautiful time of the year. We had our first snowfall this past week and yesterday a hard frost that made for a gorgeous morning.

Picture Perfect!

Our newest addition Lily and a PSA

Today marks one week since we rescued a precious blue point Siamese kitten we have named Lily! Lily was found in an air duct and found herself at the animal shelter. She is the most gorgeous, laid back and easy going cat I have ever met in my life. Now for the PSA - I am horrified that after reading about the declawing process on cats and kittens that they actually amputate part of the bone attached to the nail. It would be like us getting our fingers cut off down to our first knuckles. Can you imagine how painful that would be on one finger let alone 10 if you are only having the front claws removed? The longer I kept reading I eventually came across photos of the surgery and my mind was completely made up. They have come out with these things called Kitty Kaps (found at your local Petsmart) they are plastic nail caps that you glue onto the kitten or cat nails and it prevents them from destroying your furniture and house. This is a special glue that is included in the package when you purchase the kitty kaps. They even come in various sizes and colors! Unfortunately for our girl there was no pink so I had to make due. They were very easy to apply and she didn't fight me one bit...even when I glued one of my fingers to her paw! You will see the finished product below as well as the gorgeous model Lily.

Her first night home

I will not look at you lady!

OK I will look at you but I will not open my eyes

Kitty Kaps

Look what she has done to me now!

Shhhh don't tell Lily I caught her with her eyes open!
